TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001]Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a detection substrate and a manufacturing method thereof, a detector, and an imaging system.
BACKGROUND
[0002]Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) apparatus is an imaging apparatus which uses cone beam to irradiate and uses a computer to reconstruct tomographic image, the principle of the CBCT is that the X-ray generator performs annular digital irradiation (DR) around the irradiated object with a low amount of rays (usually the tube current is about 10 mA). Then, the data obtained in the “intersection” after digital irradiation around the irradiated object for many times (180 to 360 times, depending on different products) is “reconstructed” in the computer to obtain a three-dimensional image. The irradiation principle of obtaining the data by CBCT is completely different from that of the traditional sector scanning CT, but the algorithm principle of computer reconstruction in the later stage of the two manners is similar.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0072]In order to make objects, technical details and advantages of the embodiments of the present disclosure more clear, the technical solutions of the embodiments will be described in a clearly and fully understandable way in connection with the drawings related to the embodiments of the present disclosure. Apparently, the described embodiments are just a part but not all of the embodiments of the present disclosure. Based on the described embodiments herein, those skilled in the art can obtain other embodiment(s), without any inventive work, which should be within the scope of the present disclosure.
[0073]Unless otherwise defined, all the technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meanings as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which the present disclosure belongs. The terms “first,” “second,” etc., which are used in the description and the claims of the present application for disclosure, are not intended to indicate any sequence, amount or importance, but distinguish various components. Also, the terms “comprise,” “comprising,” “include,” “including,” etc., are intended to specify that the elements or the objects stated before these terms encompass the elements or the objects and equivalents thereof listed after these terms, but do not preclude the other elements or objects. The phrases “connect”, “connected”, etc., are not intended to define a physical connection or mechanical connection, but may include an electrical connection, directly or indirectly.
[0074]X-ray detector is an X-ray image detector with a photodiode array as the core, under X-ray irradiation, the scintillator or phosphor layer of the detector converts X-ray photons into visible light, and then an array with the function of the photodiode receives the visible light to output image electrical signals, and the image electrical signals are transmitted through peripheral circuits and converted through analog-digital, thus obtaining digital images. Because it has gone through the imaging process of X-ray-visible light-charge image-digital image in the X-ray detector, the X-ray detector is often called indirect conversion flat panel detector. For example, the photodiode includes amorphous silicon, but is not limited thereto.
[0075]Because of the need for dynamic real-time scanning, the accurate positioning of the scanned part becomes very important. By setting the pixel combination of normally black pixels and normally white pixels which can be used for algorithm capture, and thus then the accurate positioning of the image can be realized.
[0076]In the case where the back plate of the X-ray detector is produced by using a small-size exposure machine, if the size of back plate to be produced is larger than the size of the mask, it is often necessary to perform multiple stitch exposures to form a complete circuit structure, and precision control in stitch exposure is very important. In a general detector, all the pixels in the pixel setting area are effective pixels, and there is no space to arrange alignment marks, which leads to the stitch accuracy and alignment accuracy of the pixel setting area cannot be monitored, thereby leading to the image quality problem of uneven gray level of the image on the final product.
[0077]
[0078]As shown in
[0079]As shown in
[0080]An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a detection substrate, in which at least one alignment mark MK is arranged in the marking pixel MPX, which is beneficial to improving the alignment accuracy in the manufacturing process of the detection substrate and to improving the uniformity of the image quality of the final product.
[0081]As shown in
[0082]For example, as shown in
[0083]As shown in
[0084]In the detection substrate provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, an alignment mark MK is arranged in at least one of the plurality of marking pixels MPX (for example, an alignment mark MK is arranged in at least one selected from a group consisting of the plurality of positioning pixels PX0 and the plurality of photosensitive pixels PXL), so as to facilitate monitoring the stitch accuracy and/or the alignment accuracy in the manufacturing process of the detection substrate, improve the alignment accuracy in the process, weaken the problem that the stitch exposure pixel setting area cannot achieve overlay compensation and/or the stitch accuracy cannot be controlled, and avoid the problem of uneven gray scale of the image in the final product, and improve the uniformity of image quality of the final product.
[0085]In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the marking pixel MPX is a pixel unit in which the alignment mark MK is arranged. For example, in some embodiments, one or several photosensitive pixels PXL are selected as the marking pixels MPX. For example, in other embodiments, the detection substrate has positioning pixel(s) PX0, and one or several positioning pixels PX0 are selected as the marking pixels MPX. For example, in other embodiments, the detection substrate has positioning pixel(s) PX0, one or several photosensitive pixels PXL are selected as the marking pixels MPX, and one or several positioning pixels PX0 are selected as the marking pixels MPX.
[0086]As shown in
[0087]The alignment mark MK in the marking pixel MPX is omitted in
[0088]For example, the stitch exposure process includes the following steps: forming a target film, forming a photoresist layer on the target film, exposing the photoresist layer for several times to form a photoresist pattern, and etching the target film with the photoresist pattern as a mask to form a target pattern. For example, the detection substrate shown in
[0089]
[0090]For example, each of the plurality of photosensitive pixels PXL includes a photoelectric sensing device, the photoelectric sensing device is configured to convert incident light into electrical signals so that the photosensitive pixel in which the photoelectric sensing device is located generates a gray scale that changes with the real-time change of the incident light, and thereby a charge image can be generated.
[0091]Under the irradiation of light, light passing through the object to be imaged enters the flat panel detector, and then the light signal of the incident light is converted into an image electrical signal by the photosensitive element (photoelectric sensing device) of the flat panel detector, thereby generating a charge image. In this process, in the case where the position where the incident light is incident onto the flat panel detector moves, the incident light is received by the flat panel detector and different charge images are generated in different positions in response to the incident light, and the positions of these charge images are located in different areas. Later, it is required to synthesize the final image by using multiple real-time charge images obtained with the real-time movement of the incident light, and in this process, it is required to synthesize the final image by using the position information of the multiple real-time charge images, and it is required that the multiple real-time charge images are all located in a preset area in order to synthesize an ideal final image.
[0092]For example, in the detection substrate, the marking pixel MPX includes a non-photosensitive pixel.
[0093]For example, as shown in
[0094]For example, in the detection substrate, the positioning pixel PX0 is configured to have a fixed gray scale that does not change with the real-time change of the incident light.
[0095]The detection substrate provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure is provided with positioning pixels PX0 having a fixed gray scale, so that a plurality of positioning pixels can be identified, and position information of the positioning pixels, such as coordinates, can be obtained, and the position of the charge image generated by the detection substrate (detector) can be determined by taking the coordinates of the positioning pixels as a reference.
[0096]According to the detection substrate provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, the positioning pixel PX0 can be used for positioning. Because positioning pixel PX0 is arranged, it is beneficial to accurately positioning the image, improving the accuracy of imaging, reducing the interference of artifacts, which lays a foundation for subsequent image processing.
[0097]For example, the gray scale of the normally white pixel PX1 is different from that of the normally black pixel PX2. For example, the gray scale of the normally white pixel PX1 is larger than that of the normally black pixel PX2.
[0098]For example, the normally black pixel PX2 is always in a black state. For example, the normally white pixel PX1 is always bright, for example, the brightness is always the highest brightness that can be achieved. In this way, when the flat panel detector is in a black state as a whole, the normally white pixel PX1 can be accurately identified; when the flat panel detector is in a bright state as a whole, it can accurately identify the normally black pixel PX2 which is always dark. That is, no matter whether the flat panel detector is in a black state or a bright state as a whole, the accurate positioning effect can be achieved.

[0147]Each film layer is formed layer by layer through the steps such as film formation, exposure, development, etching and so on. The subsequent conductive layer will not cover the prior layer, that is, it will not affect the recognition of the pattern of the alignment mark.

The base substrate BS may also be a flexible substrate, and the material of the flexible substrate includes one of polymers such as polyimide (PI), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyethylene naphthalate two formic acid glycol ester (PEN) and polycarbonate (PC) and so on.

The detector may also include a coordinate acquisition unit and a data output unit.

For example, for the convenience of operation, the positioning point is selected on the charge image, and the position of the detector is adjusted according to the positional relationship between the positioning point and the positioning pixel or the alignment mark, and the detector can move so that the charge image is always located in the image acquisition area.
[0238]
[0239]For example, for the purpose of convenient operation, the positioning point is selected on the charge image, and the coordinates of the positioning point and the positional relationship between the positioning point and the positioning pixel or the alignment mark are obtained through the position control unit 11. For example, the position control unit 11 includes a processor, the distance between the positioning point and the positioning pixel or the alignment mark is calculated by the processor, the position of the detector 10 is adjusted according to this distance, and the detector 10 is moved so that the charge image can be always located in the image acquisition area.

The image processing module generate a three-dimensional image in a preset display area by processing a plurality of charge images generated by emitting the light to the object to be imaged at a plurality of angles.
[0242]For example, the imaging system 100 can be used in the field of medical detection, and the light emitter emits X-rays. The imaging system 100 utilizes the X-rays to form an image of a part, such as an organ, of a human body.

Of course, in some embodiments, the light emitted by the light emitter may also be visible light for forming a black-and-white image or a color image. The black-and-white image or color image is, for example, a two-dimensional image or a stereoscopic image.
